Thanks Don, I wonder if you have the metal vent like mine under the Maxxair? I was not really wanting to add another plastic vent cover, but it is an option if I can not find a new metal vent and I have trouble getting this one off without damaging it.

If you want to air up all 3 systems?, primary brake tank, secondary brake tank, aux (suspension, etc) tank, there is a schrader valve above the chassis batteries at the right side rear most door hinge. I added a ball valve and a quik connect fitting to mine (see pic).
If you want to air up only the aux/suspension etc tank? there is a schrader valve in the front left steer compartment near the floof on the right side at the door entrance. -
For those of you folks with a Country coach and have the ECC in Bay 1. I have started the process to reverse Engineer all my boards in case I need to build new ones or troubleshoot them. I am 3D modeling in a Program called Solidworks. This board shown is my Hydronic heating card in slot 18.

I read somewhere that there wasn’t a drain plug on this gear box to drain the old oil out. Is that true? If so how do you get the old oil out?

Thanks to everyone for the help on resolving our lighting issue.
Checked the relay associated with the Living Room lights and replaced. All good now.
Thanks again!

Don,
That sounds great. Where do you purchase them?

During a spare moment I have been doing some web searches and I’m leaning toward the gizmo is a bypass ultra fine – like 3 micron is what many vendors claim – oil filtration system. The port on top is a place to draw off oil samples for oil analysis.
That leaves me with the issue of brand and are the “ultra” filters still available.
For now it doesn’t seem to be broken as in “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” and I am going to let it be until I can find out more.

Don, thanks for the reply and email.
Are any AC loads dual-fed through the use of contactors? For instance, the refrigerator powered from Inverter #1, If you turn that breaker off is there any other way for the refrigerator to get power?
Coming from the Wanderlodge world there are several AC loads that are dual-fed which can lead to challenges when trouble-shooting and some potentially dangerous situations if one isn’t familiar with electrical system.

My only experience is with the 2021 GC and despite adding the kit for towing to eliminate the death wobble it was a problem getting the power steering to resume after towing.
With the help of the tech at the dealership and my climb up the executive food chain at Jeep Chrysler, Jeep came out with new software and it has become the best toad we have ever had. It goes into and out of transfer case neutral easily and has power steering the second the transfer case goes back in gear.
But when towing the power steering is active on the chassis (not at the steering wheel) and that drains the battery if I do not feed power from the bus to the Victron charger I installed.
Also I have all the assist functions turned off all the time. I don’t want it to park for me, brake for me, steer for me, etc.
I have no clue what Jeep has done for or to other cars or years so my only experience is with my 2021 GC Overland.

If yours is like mine? your 120vac aux air compressor lives in a box in the front, behind the bumper, behind the CruiseAir against the back bulkhead. Access is from under the bus. There is a removeable panel.From my mx log:6/20/14: Removed the original noisy Gast brand aux air 120vac compressor. Installed a new quieter 120vac aux air compressor made by California Air Tools, model MP100. Built and installed a new box for it to live in.

40 or 45’…open the valve in the steering bay to join conversion aux. air with coach air. Then see if the bed will lift. As for the Aux. Compressor, look in the back of the steering compartment, if you don’t see a compressor, then it is mid coach behind the entertainment cabinet like mine.

I had removed my tank when it started leaking. Took it to a local manufacturer and they copied my tank in 16 Guage stainless, double welded and pressure tested for under a grand, in a day! I replaced all the existing drain pipes as well. While I had the water bay apart, I replaced the water heater too.
